    After Number the Stars Holocaust Research

    Overview

    This is an activity that can be done after the reading of Number the Stars. It's a lesson plan that will allow them to research what actually happened during the Holocaust to the Jews that were caught, luckily, unlike Annemarie's friend.

    I have also included the website to the LiveBinders binder that I made to go alongside with the lesson plan. It has websites about the Holocaust if you want to have the students all visiting the same sites. There are also a varying amount of questions that go along with each website in the binder. 

    Preparation

    • Review the lesson plan and attached sheets.
    • Decide whether you want to use pre-decided on websites or find their own websites of research. 
    • Prepare the students to be ready for the information they will find in their research. The Holocaust was a difficult time and the students should have a warning as to what they are researching and what they will find. 
    • If you plan to use the Livebinders website on a tablet of any kind, I suggest testing it to see if it works. I have only personally tested Livebinders on a computer and am unsure how well it will work on tablets of any kind.
